Ivanka Trump arrives in Pyeongchang for closing ceremony and some Winter Olympics action

President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump has arrived in South Korea where she’ll lead the US delegation to attend the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang this weekend.

Arriving to a red-carpet welcome, this is her first visit since her father became US president in 2016, telling waiting media she was “very, very excited” to attend the Games and cheer on Team USA.

And she did just that.

Wearing a bright-red ski suit on Saturday, Ivanka Trump stood and cheered along the Americans competing in the snowboard Mens Big Air final with three American snowboarders qualifying for the final medal round (USA’s Kyle Mack finished with a silver medal).

Surrounded by security, Ms Trump — herself a skiier — was comfortable and relaxed in sub-zero temperatures and happy to pose for selfies.

Her arrival at the airport was broadcast live on TV as she said she was “looking forward to several wonderful days” in South Korea.

Ms Trump revealed she had dinner with President Moon Jae-in and thanked him for First Lady Kim for their hospitality.

Addressing guests seated at an elaborately-set round table, Ms Trump swapped hats in her role as one of her father’s close advisers, and turned to politics.

“Thank you for hosting us all here tonight as we reaffirm our bonds of friendship, of cooperation, of partnership and reaffirm our commitment to our maximum pressure campaign to ensure that the Korean Peninsular is denuclearised,” she said.
